What is The History of Easter Day?

Easter is also known as Passover. The word “Passover” itself comes from the Hebrew Bible and its usage is taken from the Jewish word, “Keni.” Then, the meaning of "Keni" was renewed again in the Israeli language.

In the Old Testament, Easter is called Pesach in Hebrew which eventually changed its name to Pascha. There are several important events in the Old Testament version of Easter.

Christians only celebrate Easter as a symbol. Easter Day is also a picture of what will happen later and its form can only be seen in Jesus. Meanwhile, in Greek, Easter is a celebration of Israel's liberation from Egypt. The celebration was carried out with the distribution of bread and offerings for the firstborn sons.

Unlike the old agreement, in the new agreement, Easter is a symbol to express God's love, mercy, grace, and power to Christians. By making self-sacrifice, Jesus became a helper of Christians from sin.

Some of the Easter events in the New Testament are the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Friday night bread distribution ceremony was changed to the Evening Supper performed by Jesus. Well, the ceremony then became a commemoration of Good Friday.

What is A Bingo Game?

Bingo is a game that is loved by all people. In fact, this game has existed since 500 years ago. The international game originated in Italy and developed in France. After that, Bingo underwent a revolution in England and became very popular in the US.

In Italy, the game is known as Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia. The game has its origins in the Italian lottery in 1530. Eventually, Bingo was brought to France and played by the wealthy there.

After that, Bingo was popular in the US. At that time, the first player was Edwin S. Lowe who was a toy manufacturer. He played it at the Georgian carnival.

When it was first introduced in the US, Bingo was still called Beano because it was a game where numbers were marked using beans. One day, someone shouted the word Bingo while playing the Beano with Lowe.

Since then, Lowe began to print cards that contain combinations of numbers and are known as Bingo. Until now, Bingo has been played almost all over the world.

What Things are Identical to Easter?

There are several things that are the main symbols of Easter celebrations. Here are some of the most famous popular symbols of Easter:

1. Easter Eggs

   Eggs are a symbol of birth which is very much in line with the meaning of Easter. Easter eggs are eggs decorated with pictures of Jesus and Our Lady or the mother of Jesus.

   The egg is a symbol of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Even though it can't move, the egg has life inside which will hatch and develop into a new living creature. Before Easter, Christians are also not allowed to eat eggs.

   Meanwhile, the eggshell symbolizes the sealing of the tomb of Jesus Christ. The shell will definitely crack later. The cracked shell represents the resurrection of Jesus from suffering and death.
   
   

2. Rabbit

   Rabbits are also often seen in Easter celebrations. It is a symbol of new life because rabbits are animals that easily breed. So, the rabbit became a symbol of fertility and it was very appropriate for Easter.

   In fact, they were also called a symbol of spring. For Christians, the rabbit being the egg carrier is considered a peace-bringing gift for the resurrection of Jesus and is shared among people as good news.
   
   

3. Bread and Wine

   Bread and wine are the foods that are distributed at Easter celebrations. Bread and wine will be distributed to Christians when entering Good Friday. So, all Christians who come to church will get bread and wine.

   The bread that was distributed was a type of bread made without using yeast or known as white bread. Meanwhile, the wine given is grape syrup.

   The bread and wine are given in the middle of the Good Friday service. Of course, Christians look forward to this moment of giving bread and wine.
